Abstract Painting – Page 109 – Painting After Art is Dead

David Matthew King

Seeing Morris Louis’s Gamma Delta in Hyperallergic’s review of Spilling Over made me go revisit David’s IG feed.

Daniel Mato

First saw Daniel on Tumblr, and the followed him on IG. He is French and I would wager loves early Paul Klee almost as much as me. Maybe more.

Kinu Kamura

Widewalls noted Blast recently- it caught my eye. She’s on IG also.

Jasmine Wallace and Randy Shull

Shared a link to Jasmine’s IG feed with a fellow abstractionist and she hit me back with a link to this page with images of Randy’s work. Which is whose? Click through to find out!

Isidore Isou

This one is a TBT, to the 1940s. Widewalls was nice enough to shout out the founder-of-Letrism’s retrospective at the Pompidou.

Magalie Guérin

Another reason it pays to follow hashtags on Instagram. Magalie shows with Corbett vs Dempsey.

Those of you who drive past North Hills in Raleigh on the reg have seen Donald’s piece in the NCMA’s Art Window in the BOA building. As someone who loves Fabian Marcaccio’s paintants and Roy Lichtenstein’s brushstrokes, these make me super super happy. Check out more of them!

Marcelyn McNeil

While looking at upcoming calls at Lawndale in Houston, saw that Marcelyn is in an interesting show with Kristen Cochran and Katie Heinlein. A little poking around reveals she also does work on paper.

Norman Bluhm

One of the Tumblr feeds I follow threw up one of Norman’s pieces from the late ’60s- love this period into the early ’70s.

Yann Houri

If this is indicative of how Frieze Week v.Los Angeles is gonna go down, I’m gonna have to check it out next year. I want to swim in this piece!

Gwen Gunter

As someone who loves works on all kinds of surfaces, too, these make me very happy!

Norman Lewis

Since February is Black History Month, I thought it was worth digging in a little bit to find out what part of US History had perhaps been missing from my education- I know for a fact of course that there are black painters making work I love (Stanley and Elias, looking at you).

After reading this great article from Art News circa 2014, I settled on Norman. If you guessed from the print below that he was influenced by Ad Reinhardt, my theory is that went both ways. Read this bio from the Smithsonian and check out this Pinterest board I made as well.

Marie Breiling

Abstractmag has an article about Marie in the context of an upcoming exhibition of work she completed during a recent residency. Time well spent if you ask me. Please check out the other images in the article!

Jennifer Riley

Two Coats of Paint has a catalog essay up from Jennifer’s show at Silas Van Morisse late last year. Read more to learn about her process.

Sarah Crowner

A friend sent me this interesting article from Vogue. I’ve been following Sarah’s brand of reinvigorated Modernism on Instagram so it was nice to have an excuse to learn a little more about her, especially that she does ceramic work using tile in addition to work with the American Ballet Theater. Glad to see talent having a deserved cultural moment.
